Festival Du Monde Arabe de Montréal (0)

Festival start: 24 October 2014      Festival end: 08 November 2014

The Arab World Festival of Montreal is a structure of production, diffusion and creation of live shows, which participates actively to Montreal’s cultural and artistic life. Its artistic committee is composed of artists from various backgrounds who share the same vision and aim. Its artistic purpose is not restrained to a specific art form. Indeed its main goal is the synthesis of all of the arts, not limiting itself to a frozen aesthetic. The activities offered blend harmoniously in the cultural landscape of the city and fuel the artistic life with new expressions. Genuine crossroads of trends and artistic orientations allowing thinking and experimenting, the AWF is a place of exchange, which links cultures to one another.

The festival's goals are :

- Creating an artistic area dedicated to the meeting of cultural identities coming from different horizons through creation, production and diffusion of quality work.

- Creating, producing or diffusing works of art, which were inspired by the cultural diversity, or coming from it and corresponding to an original artistic vision.

- Offering young artists from all origins the chance to make themselves known, to meet, to share and to enrich their artistic culture with new skills and approaches.

- Favouring the exchange between the Arab and Quebecer cultures and playing a key role in the dynamic and cultural diversity of Montreal.

- Welcoming confirmed or rising artists and supporting specifically the ones whose orientations are based on the open-mindedness regarding new artistic forms and expressions.
